Robert McMaster was born and raised in Leland, Mississippi along with his two sisters. His father was an Army veteran and police chief while his mother was a social worker who retired from their respective careers to open their own small business in their hometown. He grew up in a Christian household and worked periodically in his family's business as he grew up.

He achieved his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Mississippi College. He spent a year in Indiana after graduating from college before making his home in Oklahoma City in 2013. He resides with his wife and their children in Oklahoma City. Robert currently works as a private investigator for the Hunsucker Legal Group and is CLEET (Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training) certified. His investigations on behalf of the firm's clients have yielded many favorable outcomes, including dismissals and victories in the court system. Being a private investigator allows Robert to begin to fulfill his dream of helping others. Prior to working at Hunsucker Legal Group exclusively, he owned his own private investigation and security company.

I want voters in District 83 to know that I am "Working Today for Oklahoma's Tomorrow"

  • A better healthcare system where the patient has a greater choice over their care.
  • An education system where we have less administrators and more education.
  • A Criminal Justice System that protects Oklahomans without violating the rights of those alleged of crimes.
I plan to judge my decisions of laws based on the constitution. I want to protect the rights of my fellow Oklahomans. I believe this is the first and most important job of any government official. I promise the voters of House District 83 I will bring the same passion and motivation I have for my kids to fighting for them. I believe we can make Oklahoma a better state and I am here "Working Today for Oklahoma's Tomorrow"
Honesty, Ethical Integrity, Hard Working, Constitutionalist
The first responsibility is to protect the constitutional rights of the people.

The second must be to keep a budget balanced so the only tax money people pay is the absolute MINIMUM to run the government.

The third is listening to constituents and trying to satisfy their concerns.
I want to create a positive influence on Oklahoma. I want to create a better environment where my fellow Oklahomans can prosper and continue to grow our state.
My first job was working in my parents sporting goods store. I swept, mopped, built trophies, and other misc jobs. Some days it was long and hard work. I worked with my hands most of the time I was there and watched my parents interact with a multitude of people. My father also taught me the value of a hard days work. I worked there for 5-6 years before going to college.
Captain America, he never quit when it came to fighting to protect the people. He also stood for freedom and liberty.
I believe it provides for more voices to be heard with regards to representation in government. With two chambers, the districts are drawn differently and provides every Oklahoman 2 representatives. It also allows for more ideas to be on the table and prevents, in the long run, a single set of ideas to be in control of government.
I do not believe it is beneficial. Government is made of the people. It is designed to bring together people from different backgrounds who want to make this country a better place to live. Or, it used to be.
The budget is a continuous problem in the government. I believe we have a lot of wasteful bureaucratic spending and can save taxpayers money by deregulating and making government smaller. This would provide more money for the people and less cost on a business. The more money that can be left in the hands of the people would lead to an overall benefit to my fellow Oklahomans.
